I am writing to Smolyánin­ov.

Let him show it to you and to all the secretaries.

I shall arrive on 2/X (or 1. X). I ask that everything be prepared by Tuesday*.

I have received the Central Committee protocols. They are almost in order (a number of appendices are missing). But for now this will suffice. It would be good to obtain the protocols of the Council of People's Commissars and the Council of Labor and Defense with selections (cuttings from newspapers) and in such a way that it would be convenient to review them.

With comradely greetings,
Lenin
